Joe Louis Match

June 22, 1938

J. is keenly tuned into the radio. The Joe Louis vs that German boxer chap match is on tonight.

While J. is preoccupied, I am taking the opportunity to steal a read of one of the photography books I took out from the library. It’s due in a few days.

[ Side Note: Joe Louis won the match in the 1st round via a knockout punch. Joe Louis became the first African American hero for country (US). ]
